Mission, Vision & Values

The causes of poverty and marginalisation are complex; in large part they are rooted in broken relationships. FAR believes God values community and has a special concern for the poor and powerless. FAR is motivated by a Christian desire to reconcile people with each other, with God, and with the environment, and of a Christian responsibility to improve the spiritual, physical, and economic well-being of the marginalised.

Mission
FAR’s mission is to facilitate the holistic transformation of vulnerable communities in Sudan and to enable them to address and overcome the root causes of poverty.

Vision
FAR’s vision is to empower marginalised people to take responsibility for and build the capacity of their own communities in a sustainable way that leads to reconciliation.
